Luxury Vietnam Tours

Vietnam is known for its food culture, its warmth, and the contrast you meet at every turn. Spend the morning in Hanoi’s historic quarters, the evening under Hoi An’s lanterns, and a day or two out in the countryside where rice paddies, limestone hills, and quiet waterways provide a more laid-back tempo.

It’s also home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Ha Long Bay and the beautifully preserved Old Town of Hoi An. There’s also over 2,000 miles of glorious coastline along the South China Sea, with plenty of lively and more secluded beaches to choose from.

The Vietnamese are outstanding hosts, and extremely flexible to the needs of families: guides can be hand-picked to complement young or older children, while hotel and restaurant staff will always be keen to make a fuss and ensure you get the best care throughout.

Each of the principal destinations has sightseeing tours or activities catering directly for adventurous young explorers: cycling tours in Hue, village walks in the Mekong Delta, cooking classes in Hoi An – cherished family memories guaranteed. Vietnam’s unique climate really comes to the fore for families too: it’s the only destination in Asia that can work for any school holidays year-round – basing trips around the central coast in summer, southern beaches in winter, and top-to-toe tours in spring or early autumn.

This debate will rage ad infinitum and will never reach its conclusion, but what we can absolutely confirm is that Vietnam rivals any honeymoon destination on the planet. We find that most honeymooners are looking for a blend of adventure and opulence, and Vietnam certainly won’t disappoint in this respect.

There are scores of fabulous accommodation choices: the cities boast chic boutique bases for urban exploration, while out on the coast exclusive tropical escapes ticking all the usual honeymoon boxes – secluded beaches, plunge pool villas, butler service, and extensive spa menus.

Vietnam is a wonderful choice for a beach vacation. Its central coast contains several fine white sand beaches, including the legendary China Beach just south of Danang, and Cua Dai and An Bang beaches just outside Hoi An.

Further south lies Nha Trang, a lively resort city with good hotels in town and more exclusive luxury retreats tucked into secluded coves along the coastline. Continuing south, Mui Ne offers a quieter, more laid-back atmosphere and is a popular base for water sports and outdoor activities.

Arguably though, Vietnam’s most idyllic escapes are its offshore islands: either the rapidly-developing Phu Quoc, or the sparsely-populated formal French penal colony Con Dao.

The region formerly known as French Indochina encompasses Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. With fluid borders and excellent transport links between the three (plus neighboring Thailand), combination trips are easy to put together.

All three nations claimed independence in the 1950s and each has experienced a unique and uniquely eventful journey into the present day. A trip to the region is an opportunity to experience these captivating destinations side-by-side, where you’ll quickly learn that while the culture and character of each is markedly different, all are equally compelling.

Vietnam offers excellent value for luxury travel, with high-quality hotels, private guiding, and memorable experiences available at a comparatively reasonable cost.

As a general guide, most of our luxury Vietnam tours fall in the region of $400 to $600 per person per day, depending on the length of the trip, the season, and how much ground you want to cover.

Costs increase if you choose to stay in landmark properties such as Sofitel Legend Metropole in Hanoi, add multi-night cruises, or finish with a higher-end beach stay. Longer, more immersive itineraries that travel the country tip-to-toe also naturally sit toward the upper end of the scale, but even these are great value when compared to US prices.

When we plan your trip, we’ll talk through these options with you and explain where your budget is going, so you can decide what to prioritise on your Vietnam trip.

We’d recommend 10 to 14 days for a first trip if you want an introductory view of the country without feeling rushed. That’s usually enough for a north-to-south route, with time in Hanoi, a bay cruise, central Vietnam for Hue and Hoi An, and then Ho Chi Minh City plus the Mekong Delta.

If you have seven to nine days, we’d narrow the focus, perhaps Hanoi and a cruise, then central Vietnam, or a city-and-beach pairing around Hoi An and Da Nang.

Our luxury Vietnam tours are designed to feel effortless and easy from the moment you arrive. We’d typically include private airport transfers, four or five-star hotels, and private guides in each destination, so you can explore with confidence while still having plenty of freedom.

Most itineraries combine cultural exploration with time to slow down, such as guided city tours, overnight cruises, hands-on experiences like cooking classes, and river or coastal stays. Internal flights and transfers are planned to keep travel days comfortable, and luxury accommodation is chosen for character, convenience, and comfort.

Here at Unforgettable Travel, we are inspired by you and your preferences. Our tours focus on thoughtful pacing, insider access, and experiences that feel personal, rather than trying to cover everything at once.

If you’re interested in history, we would absolutely recommend visiting with the right guide. The tunnels are an elaborate underground system located in the Cu Chi district northwest of Ho Chi Minh City and offer a powerful experience when they’re framed with context, rather than treated as a quick pit stop. Our regional experts will be able to advise on the best time when it’s less busy.

For newlyweds seeking something truly extraordinary, a honeymoon in Vietnam definitely fits the bill.

We’d usually suggest an experience that blends atmosphere, romance and downtime, perhaps lantern-lit evenings in Hoi An, a romantic cruise, and then a beach stay somewhere like Halong Bay or Phu Quoc where you’ll catch some heart-meltingly gorgeous sunsets.

We know that your honeymoon can’t be anything less than perfect, so let us design a vacation around what matters most to you both, whether that’s food, romance, adventure, privacy, or all the above.

Vietnam uses the Vietnamese Dong. In larger hotels and restaurants, cards are widely accepted, but it’s still useful to have cash on you for markets, smaller shops, and street food vendors.

We’ll offer you tips about currency before you travel, including how much cash to carry, when to use cards, and how to keep you and your money safe while in Vietnam.
